The Apeks XL4+ is a compact, lightweight regulator suitable for diving in all environments, including cold water locations. Its design and low weight help reduce jaw fatigue on long dives. The XL4+ also makes an ideal stage regulator, perfect for exploration divers carrying a large amount of equipment. The XL4+ regulator is a high-performance option for divers who are serious about weight savings.
First Stage
-
Compact machined first stage based on the expedition-tested Apeks DS4 platform.
-
Breakthrough, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap and environmental diaphragm helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free-flow in extreme conditions. Also protects the first stage from impact damage.
-
Large surface area heat exchanger diaphragm clamp helps increase the gas temperature inside the first stage, resulting in improved cold water performance.
-
Unique over-balanced diaphragm design – as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a faster rate than ambient, resulting in superior performance at depth.
-
Equipped with 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports.
Second Stage
-
Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long-duration dives.
-
Large heat exchanger to improve cold water performance and freezing resistance. High-performance pneumatically balanced lever-operated poppet valve.
-
Large, over-moulded, self-flushing, controllable purge button.
-
Ergonomic Venturi lever, easy to use and locate. Flexible nylon braided hose provides better cold water performance than traditional rubber hoses.
-
Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability.
-
Comfo-bite mouthpiece with unique bridge fits across the upper palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place.
-
Reusable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field.
-
Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.
-
UV inhibitors help prevent discoloration of the white materials.
